Royal Stoke University Hospital in North Staffordshire has been able to adapt to different patient situations and offer advanced imaging techniques following its investment in interventional radiology technology. The hospital has installed a new Artis Q zeego and an Artis zee multi-purpose system from Siemens Healthcare which are being used to assist with a wide range of radiological procedures.
“The addition of these systems is enabling us to address an ever increasing trauma workflow and giving better access to patients during procedures,” said superintendent radiographer, interventional and neuroradiology, Mark Smith. “The systems are tremendously adaptable to different patient situations and the advanced imaging techniques that these provide will allow us to assist more acutely-ill patients safely with a reduced dose.”
